Giants of Steam - October 2016

Giants of Steam 2016 featured two visiting engines representing the first of their classes to visit the line in preservation, with North Norfolk based LNER B12 no.8572 being joined by Great Central Railway 8F no.48624, a late replacement for the planned visitor 70013 Oliver Cromwell.

These were joined by Q class 30541, S15 847 and Standard Five 73082 Camelot from the home fleet. Unfortunately, the event was not without issue as the B12 sat down on the climb from Horsted Keynes, causing delays and a replacement by Camelot on her trains for the afternoon.
